Yet another small-medium sized shopping center (according to the international standards that is) with GLA around 30,000 square meters (make it at least 60,000 total, including parking, etc). And this one came as a surprise to be honest, most of the recent publicity on shopping centers went to the "Athens Heart" one on Peiraios street,as well as the "Golden Hall" on Kifissias Avenue, both presented in the previous page.

Not to forget that the line 2 of the metro is to see an extension for another 5km up to the old Hellenikon airport, now an exhibition center, to be completed by the end of 2009. So, the metro will stretch along up to the middle of Vouliagmenis Avenue serving another 250,000 people minimum if we consider all the suburbs up to Voula and Kavouri where the Vouliagmenis Avenue ends.

In this manner, this excellent spot will attract people from the center of Athens up to the coastal suburbs (some 700,000 inhabitants). Excellent choice of location.

The big + for this center is the metro station just few meters away. Its like having a private station. Hope to look nice with (as the renders shown) lots of green when completed.

Btw, Grigori take a look on this:

The Mall across from Ag Dimitrios Metro Station has stopped construction for the second time. Workers have been absent for about 3 weeks now! Only this one is being affected by the crisis, so far...

I have heard about this for some time now but I hope it is not realized UNLESS something of equal of bigger height is built. We should not forget that the 1985 building code does not allow for anything taller than 27m to be built in Greece.

Of all the Athenian land plots, THERE a 40-story tall building can be built.

[KONSTANTINOUPOLIS]

@marcb, pity for the workers, do you have more info about the center, like who is the architect, construction company, in what stage of completion the building is?

@gm, "Η πλέον επικρατέστερη λύση θεωρείται η κατεδάφισή του και η ανέγερση στη θέση του ενός μεγάλου πολυτελούς ξενοδοχείου και ενός μικτού συγκροτήματος γραφείων και καταστημάτων."

I suspect a reptile-type complex not a T-Rex

I imagine a building of HQ, tall with lots of green spaces. If they are thinking to build again one of the usual Athenian office compexes like the one that quite recently babis vovos built in Halandri




www.babisvovos.gr

then better not to demolish the OTE headquarters. Anyway i was at the athens mall 2 days ago and there was activity in the OTE building. The one of the 3 wings had been covered with these green things we see on the buildings mainly on the historical buildings in city center. The 2nd wing seemded like they scratched the paint, as result of that the paint of the half part of the 2nd wing looked to fade out or something like that.

Beautiful complex and probably the biggest mulpiplex in Europe with its 20 screens plus the openair summer theater . Been there many times but allow me to say that this is a refurbishment and not a new construction... unless they expanded the stores and shopping areas.

FYI, there used to be a "Planet Hollywood" restaurant there back in the day (mid 90's) where Bruce Willis and his band had performed.

Also, the particular area has a carrefour supermarket and a HUGE entertainment and fun park, the famous "allou" fan park http://www.allou.gr/main.html.

And yes, the whole area looks like south central Los Angeles. Without the gangs of course .

upgrade not new construction

[gm2263]

Aye sir .

BTW, expect pictures and probably a new thread in the Eurosection about the Golden Hall mall, to also be posted in the Hellenic architecture section . I hope to make it there Saturday although I reckon it will be PACKED with people. I may not even get a car to go there.

[KONSTANTINOUPOLIS]

I hope to put your pics in this thread too. Although it has nothing to do with Athens and since i know you like tall buildings very much here is the 80m OTE tower in Pilion (Volos).

"The regeneration of industrial buildings in Athens continues!

Very close to the new metro station “KERAMIKOS”, is elegantly and strategically situated between the up-and-coming Gazi and the classic Thissio in the core of the new artistic and leisure center of Athens. The building has already hosted happenings, art exhibitions, installations and video-clips (Raining Pleasure - Love Was Just A Girl - Stathis Drogosis - Sinhorese me).


, measuring 5.130 m2, will include underground parking, a gym, 22 loft units (from 65 m2 up to 200 m2) and 2 commercial spaces (700 m2, 740 m2). The terrace will be reconstructed in to a recreation area, allotment spaces and a stress reliving maze."

This last project must be the new Mariner's Fund (Ναυτικό Απομαχικό Ταμείο) which is located in the new business district of Piraeus (Akti Miaouli) opposite the Piraeus expo center.

The building is completed (2005 if I recall correctly).
